Orthodontic bands are used in conjunction with instruments for correcting teeth. Their main functions are as follows:
1. Fixing brackets: Orthodontic bands can fix brackets and other orthodontic equipment, so that teeth can be corrected more stably.
2. Carrying archwires: Orthodontic bands can carry archwires, so that the force distribution of correcting teeth is more even.
3. As a traction point: Orthodontic bands can be used as traction points to adjust the position of teeth and dental arches.
4. Managing archwires: Orthodontic bands can adjust the position and tension of archwires to make the correction effect more ideal.
In short, orthodontic bands play a very important role in correcting teeth, which can help dentists better control the correction process and make the correction effect more outstanding.
